Good Morning!
I wanted to tell you about an amazing nurse I met while I was in the hospital. His name is Alphonse. He is from Ghana and is currently working here in the US. Alphonse is the father of 16 children, 4 biological and the rest adopted. He and his wife are both becoming educated in the medical field so they can open a clinic back in their home country to assist the people there. Alphonse is a CPA, a Geologist, and now an RN. He was the sweetest, most gentle man I think I have ever met, a genuinely good person through and through.
As awesome as all of that is, when I asked Alphonse about Christmas and if or how they celebrated, he replied that they do not buy gifts for each other, but instead purchase gifts for those less fortunate. On Christmas day his family volunteers at a soup kitchen serving Christmas dinner to the homeless. I was so moved by this! Alphonse is a true angel on earth and I wanted to introduce him to you.
My friends Rose and Haley come today, I can't wait! Love to you all! Nancy
